Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds VFS support for multi-grain timestamps and converts tmpfs,
  xfs, ext4, and btrfs to use them. This carries acks from all relevant
  filesystems.

  The VFS always uses coarse-grained timestamps when updating the ctime
  and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing filesystems
  to optimize away a lot of metadata updates, down to around 1 per
  jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.

  Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via
  NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes
  can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the
  client decide to invalidate the cache.

  Even with NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support
  a change attribute and are subject to the same problems with timestamp
  granularity. Other applications have similar issues with timestamps
  (e.g., backup applications).

  If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve
  the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying
  filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates.

  This introduces fine-grained timestamps that are used when they are
  actively queried.

  This uses the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that
  something has queried the inode for the mtime or ctime. When this flag
  is set, on the next mtime or ctime update, the kernel will fetch a
  fine-grained timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one.

  As POSIX generally mandates that when the mtime changes, the ctime
  must also change the kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so
  only the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used.

  Filesytems can opt into this behavior by setting the FS_MGTIME flag in
  the fstype. Filesystems that don't set this flag will continue to use
  coarse-grained timestamps.

  Various preparatory changes, fixes and cleanups are included:

   - Fixup all relevant places where POSIX requires updating ctime
     together with mtime. This is a wide-range of places and all
     maintainers provided necessary Acks.

   - Add new accessors for inode-&gt;i_ctime directly and change all
     callers to rely on them. Plain accesses to inode-&gt;i_ctime are now
     gone and it is accordingly rename to inode-&gt;__i_ctime and commented
     as requiring accessors.

   - Extend generic_fillattr() to pass in a request mask mirroring in a
     sense the statx() uapi. This allows callers to pass in a request
     mask to only get a subset of attributes filled in.

   - Rework timestamp updates so it's possible to drop the @now
     parameter the update_time() inode operation and associated helpers.

   - Add inode_update_timestamps() and convert all filesystems to it
     removing a bunch of open-coding"

<title>mm, netfs, fscache: stop read optimisation when folio removed from pagecache</title>
<updated>2023-08-18T17:12:13+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>David Howells</name>
<email>dhowells@redhat.com</email>
</author>
<published>2023-06-28T10:48:52+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=b4fa966f03b7401ceacd4ffd7227197afb2b8376'/>
<id>b4fa966f03b7401ceacd4ffd7227197afb2b8376</id>
<content type='text'>
Fscache has an optimisation by which reads from the cache are skipped
until we know that (a) there's data there to be read and (b) that data
isn't entirely covered by pages resident in the netfs pagecache.  This is
done with two flags manipulated by fscache_note_page_release():

	if (...
	    test_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_HAVE_DATA, &amp;cookie-&gt;flags) &amp;&amp;
	    test_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ, &amp;cookie-&gt;flags))
		clear_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ, &amp;cookie-&gt;flags);

where the NO_DATA_TO_READ flag causes cachefiles_prepare_read() to
indicate that netfslib should download from the server or clear the page
instead.

The fscache_note_page_release() function is intended to be called from
-&gt;releasepage() - but that only gets called if PG_private or PG_private_2
is set - and currently the former is at the discretion of the network
filesystem and the latter is only set whilst a page is being written to
the cache, so sometimes we miss clearing the optimisation.

Fix this by following Willy's suggestion[1] and adding an address_space
flag, AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS, that causes filemap_release_folio() to always call
-&gt;release_folio() if it's set, even if PG_private or PG_private_2 aren't
set.

Note that this would require folio_test_private() and page_has_private() to
become more complicated.  To avoid that, in the places[*] where these are
used to conditionalise calls to filemap_release_folio() and
try_to_release_page(), the tests are removed the those functions just
jumped to unconditionally and the test is performed there.

[*] There are some exceptions in vmscan.c where the check guards more than
just a call to the releaser.  I've added a function, folio_needs_release()
to wrap all the checks for that.

AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS should be set if a non-NULL cookie is obtained from
fscache and cleared in -&gt;evict_inode() before truncate_inode_pages_final()
is called.

Additionally, the FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ flag needs to be cleared
and the optimisation cancelled if a cachefiles object already contains data
when we open it.

Fscache has an optimisation by which reads from the cache are skipped
until we know that (a) there's data there to be read and (b) that data
isn't entirely covered by pages resident in the netfs pagecache.  This is
done with two flags manipulated by fscache_note_page_release():

	if (...
	    test_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_HAVE_DATA, &amp;cookie-&gt;flags) &amp;&amp;
	    test_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ, &amp;cookie-&gt;flags))
		clear_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ, &amp;cookie-&gt;flags);

where the NO_DATA_TO_READ flag causes cachefiles_prepare_read() to
indicate that netfslib should download from the server or clear the page
instead.

The fscache_note_page_release() function is intended to be called from
-&gt;releasepage() - but that only gets called if PG_private or PG_private_2
is set - and currently the former is at the discretion of the network
filesystem and the latter is only set whilst a page is being written to
the cache, so sometimes we miss clearing the optimisation.

Fix this by following Willy's suggestion[1] and adding an address_space
flag, AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS, that causes filemap_release_folio() to always call
-&gt;release_folio() if it's set, even if PG_private or PG_private_2 aren't
set.

Note that this would require folio_test_private() and page_has_private() to
become more complicated.  To avoid that, in the places[*] where these are
used to conditionalise calls to filemap_release_folio() and
try_to_release_page(), the tests are removed the those functions just
jumped to unconditionally and the test is performed there.

[*] There are some exceptions in vmscan.c where the check guards more than
just a call to the releaser.  I've added a function, folio_needs_release()
to wrap all the checks for that.

AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS should be set if a non-NULL cookie is obtained from
fscache and cleared in -&gt;evict_inode() before truncate_inode_pages_final()
is called.

Additionally, the FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ flag needs to be cleared
and the optimisation cancelled if a cachefiles object already contains data
when we open it.

<title>fs: pass the request_mask to generic_fillattr</title>

generic_fillattr just fills in the entire stat struct indiscriminately
today, copying data from the inode. There is at least one attribute
(STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE) that can have side effects when it is reported,
and we're looking at adding more with the addition of multigrain
timestamps.

Add a request_mask argument to generic_fillattr and have most callers
just pass in the value that is passed to getattr. Have other callers
(e.g. ksmbd) just pass in STATX_BASIC_STATS. Also move the setting of
STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE into generic_fillattr.

<title>9p: remove dead stores (variable set again without being read)</title>

<id>cf7c33d332ab67603f159123b691c61270b14c33</id>
<content type='text'>
The 9p code for some reason used to initialize variables outside of the
declaration, e.g. instead of just initializing the variable like this:

int retval = 0

We would be doing this:

int retval;
retval = 0;

This is perfectly fine and the compiler will just optimize dead stores
anyway, but scan-build seems to think this is a problem and there are
many of these warnings making the output of scan-build full of such
warnings:
fs/9p/vfs_inode.c:916:2: warning: Value stored to 'retval' is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]
        retval = 0;
        ^        ~

I have no strong opinion here, but if we want to regularly run
scan-build we should fix these just to silence the messages.

I've confirmed these all are indeed ok to remove.
